Crimson Pack

Chapter 19

Aria~

'Life hurts a lot more than death '

What does that even mean ? I mean what's the point of writing something like, when the photo is depicting something happy ?

It doesn't make any sense to me.

I pace around the room, looking around for anything else. But that's the only thing left in the room.

"Aria "Stuart says from behind the thick wood.

"I'll be right out " I tell him and he doesn't say anything else.

I reluctantly open the door and wall outside. He's leaning against the wall, standing next to the door.

"Are you okay ?" He asks me

"Yeah " I say and sigh

"I'm here if you want to talk " he tells me and I just smile.

"Can we go outside? " I ask him

"Sure, but I think it is going to rain soon " he tells me

"That's fine. I don't really mind "I shrug

"Let's go then " he says and we both make our way downstairs.

"I've heard everything that has happened. I am so sorry for your loss" he tells me

"It's been a very hectic week. I lost a brother that I didn't know that even existed and a friend, who was like my sister " I look down at my shoes and sigh deeply.

"I am so sorry Aria " he says once again

"Plus I feel doomed and trapped in this mansion " I add

"I know that staying inside isn't really your thing " he tells me

"Not really " I giggle

" I wish I could talk to my mother. I've got so many questions haunting me and nobody here can give me the answers" I tell him

" I wish I could do something " he tells me and looks straight into my eyes

"I think that you're one of the people that I trust in here. So just by being here for me helps me a lot " I smile

"I wish I could do more " he tells me as he opens the front door.

"You missed your date with the Alpha today " he says and I laugh.

"I'm sure he'll find another day for me to go on a date " I shrug and he chuckles

"Although you did not tell me why you left ? It's been a few days since I last saw you " I am just curious because Xavier never told me.

"I had some other duties " he tells me without giving me any other details.

The water droplets fall like they simply cannot think of anything better to do. There is a laziness about them, as if they can barely be bothered to conform to the will of gravity. When I hold my bare arm out the droplets splatter on my outstretched fingers.

"Aria we should go back inside " Stuart tells me

"In a few minutes " I say

"You'll get sick " cheapest excuse I've ever heard Stuart

"We don't like the rain now Mr Stuart, do we ?" I tease him

"I beg to differ Miss Aria. I do like the rain. However I don't like staying outside while it's  raining " he says and I struggle to keep my laughter back.

"Let's get you inside then sugar " I say when I stand up and he groans.

We reach the first floor and thats when I see Xavier and Gianna. I go and hide behind Stuart.
